To piggyback on that theme, we reached out to you -- our 394,000+ friends in PGA.com Facebook Nation -- to ask the same question: What golf moments -- either your own, or those you saw -- are you most thankful for this year?

S Michael Pearson: Wasn't a fan of Reed but he's slowly moving up the charts.

Lindy Edmund: Thankful for being able to be at Hazeltine with my kids for the USA victory. Special.

Jordan Esensten: I am thankful to have played Pebble, Winged Foot, and National Golf Links this year.

Dave Mallon: My son made the all star team in his first year of PGA Junior League. And he sank a 20' birdie putt to win his match!

Simon Jackson: Great Golfers, Great Sportsmen and what an AWESOME match at the Ryder Cup. Rory STILL FED EX CAMP THOUGH!

Jared Seals: I get so emotionally jacked for team golf Patrick Reed had me pounding my chest on this one!

Garrett Kenneth: Dustin Johnson at the US Open was my top spot. Hoping for a repeat when I'm there at Erin Hills!

Jim Boerger: Phil and Sergio paired together on Sunday at the Ryder Cup was also EPIC!

Jon McGowan: One thing I'm truly grateful for is that I happened to record the Ryder Cup, so I'll have the McIlroy/Reed match to watch over and over.

Keith Pederson: Playing a tournament in September with a friend of mine, even though we lost that day. Eight days later he was killed in a car accident.

Boyd Baumgartner: Playing several rounds this past summer with my 23-year-old son. Every moment I got to spend with him was precious to me, regardless of the score.

Timothy Taylor: I am thankful I still get to play with my 78 year old father. (Not so thankful he still wins) and I shoot in the mid to high 80s!

Jim Cook: Playing golf with my wife, dad, me and my 2 sons!! Never take for granted when it will be the last time that this great game can be passed generation to generation!!

Terrence Craig Toutant: The Stenson/Mickelson Duel at Troon was the best golf I've ever watched. I also tied my personal low round of 4-over par this season. Next year I'm nailing par!!

Jeff Berry: For myself -- Made my first hole-in-one and my witness was my 12-year-old son. Watching Others -- Seeing Justin Rose come over and hand his ball to my 9-year-old son on the ninth green at the WGC-Bridgestone (Rose is his favorite).

Andrew "Beef" Johnston was undoubtedly one of the most memorable characters from PGA Championship week.

This time of year is all about reflection.

Today we're going to look back and revisit nine of our favorite memories from the week that was at Baltusrol in Springfield, N.J., during the 2016 PGA Championship, where Jimmy Walker picked up his first major victory.

9. Phil Mickelson's second-round, even-par 70. How the heck is that on a list of memorable moments, you ask? An even-par round on the second day of the season's last major in ideal conditions for scoring? Well, it deserves a spot on the list for two reasons: 1. Mickelson's awful start; 2. Mickelson's remarkable perseverance.

Mickelson won the PGA Championship at Baltusrol in 2005, the last time it was contested there. He had high hopes in 2016, coming off a runner-up finish in the Open Championship... and then a first hole, triple-bogey 7 happened to immediately put Lefty behind the 8-ball on Day 2.

He could have packed it in right there. But, he didn't. Mickelson buckled down, got locked in and bounced back with four birdies against one bogey the rest of the way for his even-par total. An awesome display.

8. Andrew "Beef" Johnston... all week long. The man affectionately known as "Beef" endeared himself with fans in arguably the toughest sports market in the country and became a cult hero. He may have tied for 60th by tournament's end, but Beef was the people's champion at Baltusrol.

7. Rich Beem turning back the clock and a very special chip-in for the fans on Sunday. The 2002 PGA Champion at Hazeltine, Beem doesn't play a whole lot of tournament golf these days, spending more of his time as an on-course reporter. At Baltusrol, he showed a flash of brilliance with a 1-under 69 in Round 1. He eventually tied for 73rd, but gave fans this memorable moment on Sunday.

6. The work of the Baltusrol grounds crew. It isn't the most glamorous job in the world and it's probably one of the more thankless, but if it weren't for the effort of these tireless men and women at Baltusrol, the tournament never would have finished on Sunday. Hats off to them.

5. The little kid who got up in Jason Day's face... for a high-five on Friday. Probably my favorite moment of the tournament, personally. Day played his shot from outside the ropes and this little dude didn't miss his opportunity to get a high-five from the world's No. 1 player and defending PGA Champion.

2. Day's eagle on the 72nd hole to put pressure on Walker. Getting an eagle when you absolutely need it to have any chance at all is no easy feat. Doing it in a major makes the task that much more difficult. Day did it and made Walker sweat. What a finish.

1. Walker's winning moment. It was a short putt and maybe not the flashiest of moments, but it was a putt that Walker had to have after Day eagled up ahead of him. I don't care what the length of the putt is -- when it's to win your first major, the pressure must be like nothing you've ever experienced before.

This story out of England is sure to make all you lifelong golfers out there without an ace go absolutely bonkers. During her first ever golf lesson, a lady named Becky Marsh did the unthinkable and made a hole-in-one.

How long have you playing golf? Have you made a hole-in-one? If so, how long were you playing before that ace came?

The club of choice? A 7-iron. And, as if you weren't already jealous enough that a lady playing for the first time did something you probably never have that carries 12,500-to-1 odds, it was even caught on video:

Are you buying what this video is selling? As Golf Digest notes, it's posted by a a teaching pro named Emma Brown, who actually shot the video. That would seem legit? Plus, Marsh's swing certainly looks like that of a beginner...

... Who has nothing left to experience in golf but disappointment, just like the rest of us!

Great video, great shot and great reaction. If that doesn't make Marsh a golfer for life, I don't know what will.
